A Time to Stitch 2 - Reveal

I'm a bit nervous as these are my first steps in beadweaving, but I already love it very much. That means this is only the beginning and you will see more from me in the future :-)

Let's start with the CRAW - the first one I've tried. I made a bracelet

and a pair of earrings.

The second stich I learned was St. Petersburg and I made a bracelet (with polymer clay buttons),

a pair of earrings

and two rings.

My design is quite simple, I'm still learning the basics, but I like it that way. They are all my experiments, I did not use any tutorials (except for learning the stitch itself). I know I havent't invented anything new, but I came to this solutions by myself. I'm kind of proud of it ... and I already have a lot of ideas to realize in the future :-) ﻿

And now, here's the complete list of participants - I'm sure you will find gorgeous creations on their blogs as they are all much more skilful than me:

Alenka~I am in awe of your first time abilities! You already look like you have been doing it for years! Your CRAW earrings are fabulous and I love the bracelet too. Your St. Petersburg is fantastic! A Double Double bracelet- What a beautiful Look! And whenever I was working on this stitch, I kept wrapping it around my finger, thinking it would look great as a ring, so I was thrilled you made one. Keep weaving Alenka! And thanks so much for signing up for then challenge :-)

Hi Alenka,Thank you so much for join in on mine and Christine's challenge.Wow you hit a home run on these I love them all! No way this is your first time girlfriend, these are amazing you are a natural born bead weaver. I love the CRAW bracelet and the double, double St Petersburg bracelet the earrings both sets are to die for and the ring awesome! I hope that you will join us again in the next ATTS challenge.Therese

I love that you learned the stitches and then created your own designs. Cubic right angle weave is a difficult stitch to pick up, I can't imagine tackling it as a new beader. SO impressed with your work!

The trim on the bracelet is purchased that way .. it is cord purchased at the fabric store for pillows (you buy on a roll like you would ribbon). I just stitched it together so it lined either side of the bracelet!
